STOVEPIPE-SUPPORT.

I Specification of Letters'Patent. Application filed June 26, 1908. SerialNo. 440,602.

Patented Dec. 15, 1908.

To all whom it may concern: j

Be-it known that I, HARRY D. GRABEL, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at East St. Louis, in the county of St.

Clair and State of Illinois,,haye invented new and useful 1m rovements in Stovepipe- Sup.

ports, of whic tion.

My invention relates to" improvements in stove pipe supports, and its prlmary object is the provision of a simple, durable and efli-' cient device of this'character by means of "the following is a specificawhich one end of a stove pipe may be secured in communication with a flue opening against accidental displacement A further ob ect of the invention is the provision of a support which isdesigned to prevent soot and water escapingthrough the ue opening. 7 v

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a stove Ipipesupport which is simple,-durable and efficient, which may be proved stove pipe trat be ured nthe readily applied, and which may be manufacturedandisold at a complarativelybw cost.

With the above and'ot er objects inview,

the invention consists In the construction,

combinationand arrangement of arts here' port. Fig. 2 is a detail f perspective view: ofi

one

merals, 1 designates a fragmentary portion of one wall of a flue, 2 the opening therein, 3 a fragmentary portion of the plaster secured to the flue wall, such parts beingin vertical section.

Broadly and generally speaking, my im: support comprises a flue ening socket and astove pipe receivmg 'mble. The flue opening socket com rises cylindricalmembers 4 and '5. whic are member '4 being designed to receive t "ememher :5. Y The socket member 4 p is I 'e-dium f. e m

Referringto the drawing by reference nu :the flue;

The combination flue o ening, of a threaded member positions "in the opening, elements --s"ecured to ,the memb'er and engaging. the "wall to prevent the displacement of the member, an-

adapted to flue; pe h u f maze, which may he either are adapted to engage the inner and outer surfaces of the flue wall 1. The elements 6 are preferably made separately from the socketmember 4, and are preferably angular in cross-section. Each element 6 is secured in. ap lied position through the medium of one 0 its flanged ortions, and the elements are arranged at t e ends of the socket 4.

After the socket member 4 is secured in applied position, the socket member 5 is threaded into the same.

The socket member 5 preferably has threaded engagement with the wall of that portion of the flue opening extending pipe, and a threaded portion 10 adapted to ereceived' by the flue socket. The connection between the thimble and the flue is such as to prevent the accidental; displacement "of the. thimble and prevent soot, smoke,

water-and dirt from esca ing from the flue. It "should be apparent rorn the above description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, that I provide a f-stove pipe support which will prevent soot,

smoke, dirt and water from escaping from hich may be readily and quickly 1pc 'infcommunication with the flue openmg against accidental displacement, and which may be manufactured and sold at a comparatively low cost. I

Changes in. the form, proportions and minor details of construction may be made within the scope of the claim without de-' parting from the spirit or sacrificing-any of the advantagesofjthe invention. Having fully described and illustrated 'my invention, whatjl claim is I 'th 'a wall having a other member threaded on its inner and threads on the inner surface of the said other outer surfaces and provided at one endwith member. 10 aflange, said other member being positioned In testimony whereof I aflix my signain and having threaded engagement with ture in presence of two witnesses.
